extracting netcdf data

[Charles Seman]

P. Romero,

In GrADS, the regrid function may be helpful to interpolate to a lower
resolution, and then you could perhaps adapt the Opengrads Recipe-002 to
write out the data:
ftp://grads.iges.org/grads/sprite/udf/
http://cookbooks.opengrads.org/index.php?title=Recipe-002:_Saving_GrADS_variable_data_to_a_text_file

I hope this helps,
Chuck
